La Paz Condo Rental Photos and Description

Condo, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 3 Baths, (Sleeps 4-6)

Our beautiful 2 bedroom / 3 bathroom 1500 sf condo is located right on the beach in Paraiso del Mar Resort in La Paz. It has additional 400 sf of covered terraces with access from every room. The condo has two large master suites each with their own bathroom and a King bed. It also features full kitchen, 10-ft ceilings, travertine floors and granite countertops. The living room has a Queen pull-out sofa bed. This unit C403 is on the 4th floor with a direct view of the ocean, 50-meter infinity pool, jacuzzi and the beach. The condo is beautifully furnished, decorated in warm Mexican colors, and well-stocked.

Paraiso del Mar is one-of-a-kind community with over 5-mile long virgin beaches, an Arthur Hills golf course and tennis courts. Free shuttle service operates on the property. Duffy electric boats shuttle between the downtown of La Paz and Paraiso del Mar. The water is produced on-site from reverse osmosis desalinization plants.

The Sea of Cortez is home for countless species of marine plants and animals, forming such a unique ecosystem that it was baptized by Jacques Cousteau as "The Aquarium of the World." You can watch dolphins right from the terrace of your condo. Or for closer encounters with marine life go on a sea kayaking and whale watching, or a fishing trip. The incredible island of Ispiritu Santo is just a short boat ride away.

About The Owner

My husband and I are software engineers. We bought our first vacation condo in Maui in 2002. Later we added another Maui condo and a house in Lake Tahoe to our rental portfolio. We recently traveled to La Paz, Mexico, and fell in love with the city, its people and the wondrous marine world of the Sea of Cortez. We are very lucky to have been able to acquire a condo in Paraiso del Mar – a very unique resort. We enjoy traveling to all three our vacation destinations, buying stuff for our vacation rentals, renting out and making new friends. Feel free to email with any questions about vacationing in Maui, Tahoe or La Paz.

The Owner purchased this condo in 2010

Why The Owner chose Baja California Sur

This is an absolutely unique location - on a private peninsula yet just a 10-minute boat ride from a downtown of the most charming and peaceful Mexican city, boasting excellent dining and entertainment. La Paz means "peace" and it lives true to its name. You will feel peaceful and happy under its vast skies, surrounded with Baja mountains and illuminated by the most beautiful sunsets in the world.

What makes this condo unique

This unit has a million-dollar views and the balconies face north - straight at the sea - always shaded from the sun.

Great place for Destination Wedding

Great for 2 couples with the possibility of 3. 2 spacious master bedrooms with bathroom suite. Great kitchen and living room/dining area. 3 private balconies. Great view of the water, manicured gardens and pool. The best poolside restaurant with gourmet fish to firestone pizza. The shuttle and launch made it easy to get around from the condos to the Villa where our daughters wedding took place. The elevator made it easy for my elderly parents to get up to the condo. I highly recommend this property, nice, clean and relaxing. Would consider this property again.

Wonderful Vacation

My wife and I spent 4 weeks at this condo. The place was very comfortable, with a fantastic view of the sea. One thing I especially enjoyed was that you could hear the surf. We slept with the doorwalls open so that we could listen to the sound of the waves breaking on the shore. The pool was quite large and never crowded. It was great for swimming laps. Both Elena, the owner, and Maude, the property manager, were very helpful. I would recommend this property without reservation.

Excellent

Thanks for an amazing stay at your apartment.it was really beautiful and we enjoyed it tons.it had everything in it that we needed.we plan on coming back again and bringing our children with us to enjoy it.I would recommend it thoroughly.

Beautiful La Paz and Paraiso del Mar

We had a wonderful time here! The condo has an amazing view and is well appointed. Excellent communication with owner and outstanding on-site manager (Maude). We swam with whale sharks, snorkeled with sea lions and enjoyed the beach. The transportation staff at the resort were amazing with door to boat service, always friendly and on time. The pool food was excellent, and the hot tub was fun! We would definitely return to this condo and resort. We did not rent a car as taxi's are plentiful and very inexpensive. My sister did rent a car and left it parked just outside the marina area for free.

Amazing Place!

We met some of the nicest people while staying here, people we still stay in contact with. The on-site manager always answered her phone if we had any questions, and the restaurant at the pool couldn't have been more accommodating. They would even prepare a custom meal if you put an order in the day before. The condo itself is beautiful; nothing like having a morning cup of coffee while taking in that view from the balcony!

Fabulous!

The entire experience of renting this condo was superb. The communication from the owners and from the on-site manager was excellent. We have always wanted to stay at La Paz and now we could not imagine staying anywhere but this property. We rented a car and drove directly to the parking directions where we were met by lovely Maude who answered all our questions. Since we were told do not attempt to drive to the condo unless we had 4 wheel drive, we parked just outside the marina (free parking) across from the military quarters so we knew it was very safe. Using the 8 minute shuttle boat to and from the peninsula was super fun and reliable. The ground transportation was the same - everyone is friendly and helpful. Then we arrived at our condo and were totally thrilled at the grounds, the pool, the VIEW - everything. The condo is well appointed and has a great kitchen - its perfect. We loved sitting on the patio and looking at the pool, the sea and the Isla de Spiritu Santo. The condo is bigger than you expect. We could not figure out how to work the tv - which was one of the best parts of the trip - and the internet worked great. After eating at 3 supposedly great restaurants in town, we realized that the best and freshest food was down at the pool - 3 young people run it who ride the boat every day with fresh food. I can only say that we ate there every meal we could - it was truly SUPERB. I thought I would be cooking more, but did not because we knew we had found the best food around. They would ask each night what we wanted for the next day - shrimp, scallops, clams, lobster, and more. We cannot say enough about the food. Also note that we did walk on the beach a lot and maybe saw 8 people there the whole time (slow season). All in all - this place will only delight you and make you want to come back. Note: a couple of To Do items. Go to Bandalara and Tecolote Beaches. Bandalara is one of the most beautiful places EVER = go early and enjoy your long walk in the water, eat and drink the coconuts sold at the beach. Then go to the biggest restaurant on the beach in Tecolote where the food was fabulous. Ask locals about taking a boat from Tecolote for the Isla de Spiritu Santos tour - we took the tour from the marina and wish we would have done it different. All in all - staying here will be one of the best vacations in your life!!!

Owner's Response: Dear Katherine,
Thank you for a DREAM review! Every owner wants one of those!
I am so happy you had a great time in our place. Sorry for the TV! I found out later that the DISH service was disconnected because my credit card expired and they never warned me, just turned it off. So that's been taken care of.
Until next time,
Elena
